TRUEGARD Way Lubes are premium lubricants engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern machine tool operations. These specialized oils are formulated using highly refined mineral oil bases, ensuring optimal purity and performance for industrial applications.

Key Features

·      Enhanced Tackiness: TRUEGARD Way Lubes incorporate advanced additives that improve oil adhesion, ensuring the lubricant remains in place even under heavy loads and extended operational periods.

·      Superior Anti-Wear Protection: The formulation provides robust protection against wear and tear, extending the service life of machine components and reducing maintenance costs.

·      Stick-Slip Control: Additives are included to minimize stick-slip phenomena, promoting smooth, precise movement of slides and tables and enhancing machining accuracy.

·      High Adherence: Specially recommended for applications requiring strong oil film retention, TRUEGARD Way Lubes deliver reliable lubrication where high adherence is essential.

Applications

TRUEGARD Way Lubes are ideally suited for the lubrication of machine tool slides, tables, and other critical surfaces where smooth, consistent motion and superior protection are required. Their unique combination of tackiness, anti-wear, and stick-slip control makes them an excellent choice for both manual and automated machinery in manufacturing, metalworking, and precision engineering environments.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

  • This oil is formulated specifically for machine tool slides, tables, and other critical contact surfaces in manufacturing, metalworking, and precision engineering environments. It is suitable for both manual and automated machinery where smooth, consistent motion and strong film retention are required.

  • ISO VG 68 indicates the oil's kinematic viscosity at 40°C, placing it in a medium-weight range commonly specified for machine tool slideways. Always consult your machine tool manufacturer's specifications to confirm that VG 68 is the recommended grade, as some machines call for lighter grades (e.g., VG 32) or heavier grades (e.g., VG 220) depending on the application and operating speed.

  • Stick-slip is the jerky, uneven motion that occurs when a slide or table alternately grips and releases its guiding surface instead of moving smoothly. TRUEGARD WayLube 68 includes specific additives to minimize this effect, which directly improves dimensional accuracy and surface finish quality in machining operations.

  • Tackiness helps the oil cling to vertical and inclined slideway surfaces rather than draining away under gravity, heavy loads, or vibration. TRUEGARD WayLube 68 uses advanced additives to enhance oil adhesion, which ensures the lubricant film is maintained continuously and protects surfaces even during extended operation.

  • The product description notes it is suitable for both manual and automated machinery applications. However, you should verify that the oil's viscosity and tackiness level are compatible with your specific centralized lubrication system's pump and line specifications before filling, as high-tackiness oils can sometimes require higher pump pressures.

  • The product data does not specify a flushing procedure, but it is generally best practice when changing lubricant brands or types on slideways to clean the surfaces of old oil and any contamination before applying the new lubricant. This ensures the anti-wear and stick-slip additives in WayLube 68 perform as intended without interference from incompatible residual oil.
